Get out there and do what you love!

Do the work. Do the analysis. But feel your run. Feel your race. Feel the joy that is running.

You can't do in a race what you haven't prepared for.

Set small goals along the way and don't be overwhelmed by the process.

After we put my son to bed, my husband and I curl up and watch a movie or TV. That's when I finally put up my feet and have my glass of wine and a brownie.

Don't try to rush progress. Remember -- a step forward, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction. Keep believing.

There are a million reasons why you can't. Focus on the few reasons why you can.
